Rappers have their own personal film crews follow them around

While no one in 1993 could have predicted the idea of YouTube, not to mention the sheer breadth and user-friendliness of the tool, CB4 was extremely forward thinking in terms of giving MC Gusto his own documentary team, led by A. White (Chris Elliott). A.

And in 2014, if a rapper doesn't have a professional videographer—or at least a friend with an iPhone—recording each and every moment on stage, in the studio, on the tour bus, and fan interaction, is that person really a rapper?

Having a member of your entourage who can navigate Final Cut Pro is more important than a hypeman.
